WICKED has extended its booking period by 6 months - tickets are now on sale to 27 Sep 2008 at the Apollo Victoria Theatre.

WICKED opened at the Apollo Victoria Theatre 27 Sep 2006, following previews from 7 Sep - to reasonable notices from the popular press: THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Remarkable kaleidoscope of magical shocks, surprises and sensations. Wicked works like a dream."THE INDEPENDENT says, "I enjoyed very little. " THE GUARDIAN says, "Efficient, knowing and highly professional but more like a piece of industrial product than something that genuinely touches the heart or mind." THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "Witty, enjoyable" THE TIMES says, "Songs bang out, along with iffy lyrics and not-so-witty dialogue."

The cast currently includes: Kerry Ellis (Elphaba), Oliver Tompsett (Fiyero), Susie Blake (Madame Morrible), Nigel Planer (The Wizard), Dianne Pilkington (Glinda), Katie Rowley Jones (Nessarose) , James Gillan (Boq), Andy Mace (Doctor Dillamond). ( Cassidy Janson will be the Elphaba Standby and Sarah Earnshaw will be the Glinda Standby.)

Two girls meet in the land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, feisty and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very, very popular. WICKED is the story of these two unlikely friends and how they end up as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.
